Nah. This is a perfect example of letting the data lead you by the
nose. Agriculture probably stretches back hundreds of thousand if not
millions of years.

Jesu Maria! Here's a good one:

"Agriculture probably stretches back hundreds of thousand if not
millions of years. " Dimmy (aka Claudius) 10/22/2006

Let me guess. Mikey objects because he saw in a textbook something
that said otherwise. And the textbook said otherwise based not on
evidence but on lack of evidence.

Lordy, lordy! I just about missed this one (there are so many):

"Science that basis [sic] conclusions on lack of evidence
are [sic] not scientific." Dimmy (aka Claudius) 10/22/2006

If you're playing along, please note that to be a decent .sig,
the statement must be *dripping* with irony, the author identified,
and the date must be included.
